"Ice Cream" was written by Exy, Perrie and Uyeon, and composed by Marc Sibley, Nathan Cunningham, Feyi, Breyan Stanley Isaac and Mlite.[8] The song is described as a bubblegum pop track with a bright and catchy sound, conveying a message about enjoying the moment freely as it melts away like ice cream.[9]

Musically, the track is composed in the key C-sharp major and has a tempo of 143 beats per minute.[10]

I was very nervous, and my heart was beating really fast when I first heard the song because I immediately felt like it was mine, I also kept thinking about how I would share it with our fans and how much they would like it.

— Yuna, on first hearing the song[11]
